I used the reviews on trackers to pick what I thought was best for me and I can tell you 100%It work amazingly , my wife is a habitual cheater unfortunately and since she’s using my car I had to put this in the car to make sure she’s not doing bad things until she proves her trust to me . I literally went down the tracker rabbit hole investigating literally any and all trackers Bluetooth , gps ,Cellular etc and this one works better than even the expensive trackers . You get a 2 day free trial if you pay month to month which is $40 per month and that’s well worth it to know your safe and loved ones are safe , the accuracy is on point down to the parking spot my car is in and if not it’s onlyWithin 20 ft or so off . Real time tracking app is easy , super reliable and so far in 3 days I’ve had customer service contact me 4 times just to make sure I’m happy and to make sure I don’t need help . Turn it on , charge it up and let it do its thing . Five stars all day long for me .the photo is just now in real time shows speed and every detail you can want . 5 second refresh updates as well .

UPDATE: Finally canceled the service because I no longer need it and canceling was pretty easy. I chatted support, said, "hey I wanna cancel" and they pointed me straight to the page to cancel (which now that I see it, I could have found it on my own if I just looked for it). Filled it out and bam, was canceled right away. I saw somebody complaining on here that it wasn't easy to cancel... was pretty easy for me :| Took like 2 minutes. They said I can reactivate it whenever AND it apparently has a LIFETIME warranty... that's pretty amazing. I never see lifetime warranties in products these days. If I ever need to track something again, I'll re-activate this! Worked really well when I was using it!I like it so far but one thing they don't mention on here is the prices for other service options: $25 for 1 minute updates (only updates map every 1 minute) up to $45 for about 5 second updates. I'm using this in case my electric bicycle (a very powerful and expensive one) gets stolen (I hid this unit INSIDE the bike's battery packaging [so it looks like part of the battery] and have it charging via the battery so it will basically last forever) and so far, it works perfectly. I set up a test with my girlfriend where she took the bike and I had to find her just using the GPS. Caught her at a store about 15 minutes after she said "come find me." So I'm very pleased with it so far! I did have to search around in the area for a little bit because sometimes it's not super accurate even outside but still, found her in 15 minutes... pretty good! They don't really advertise it as that kind of tracker but... works well.Pros:- Works pretty much right out of the box, YOU DO NOT NEED TO GO BUY A SIM CARD, it comes with one - my favorite thing about this unit. All you have to do is register your device, setup your payment and then wait a few hours for everything to activate and start using.- Seems to be fairly accurate AS LONG as it's outdoors and moving. Once you go inside any place, as with most GPS units, it pings you all over the place within about 1,000-2,000 ft. Sometimes further. So if your using it for an electric bike like I am, you might want to take note of that. Still gives you an idea of where it is though.- No contract so you can cancel your plan and start it back up if your bike or car gets stolen. This is a pretty huge plus for me. I will have it deactivated until- Long-lasting battery. Not attached to my e-bike battery, it seems to get about a week of life per charge (like from 100% to absolute 0). Connect it to a portable USB charger and you can probably get 2 or 3 weeks out of it. Or do like me and connect it to your car or bike battery and have it last forever without recharging :D- It's small! Love the size, I actually thought it would be a little better. Included a picture of me holding it.Cons:- The service plan... and well, the unit itself, is kind of.. expensive compared to others or a pre-paid SIM card option. Then again, works right out of box.- Not always accurate, even when outside. But it works well enough.Overall: It's a nice little unit. Not the cheapest, but works right out of the box - key feature for me. Didn't have to deal with prepaid SIM card nonsense, carriers, etc.

I have been using this GPS tracker for over 1 year and I am very pleased with it. The battery life is very good and signal strength is always accessible. I had a billing issue which was taken care of immediately by their rep Shenece.

Si lo recomiendo, la plataforma que utliza es muy facil de monitorear, puedes ver el seguimiento, excesos de velocidad, las rutas que tomo la unidad, paradas, te avisa cuando se mueve la unidad.LO MALO:- Tienes que pagar una membresia en mi casa en Mexico de $650 mensuales.- Y hay que estar cargando el dispositivo cada 3 dias ( te recomiendo comprar el dispositivo que va conectado al OBD2 y ya no necesitas cargarlo)

The Good:1) It's small making it easy to conceal2) It's lightweight3) The rubber coating helps protect the deviceThe Bad:1) The device is preset to a 1 minute update with no instructions in the manual or online on how to change it or if it can be changed. I signed up for the 5 second updates and could only get 1 minute updates. I'm sure there is a way to change this but it shouldn't take repeated requests by e-mail waiting for their responses. This should be made clear at time of activation or before.2) the online only manual is basic and lacks details. Most of it just explains how to operate the basic online menu items. There is very little about the device.3) tech support is by e-mail only or if they call the customer. Their user support forum can only be found by calling for tech support and getting it from a recording. Their support forum is a ghost town with no help4) The device has a 30 second preset for showing or notifying there's movement. Tech support email said it could be changed but not how. Again, no help on their website or in their manual5) Tracking is viewed via their www site. Cell phones that can access the www will work but there is no cell phone version of the website. Plan on having to zoom in to log in and manipulate functions. It's unsafe for use with live mobile tracking.6) Their software plots paths using straight lines from one update to the next. With 1 minute updates it would be nice if this option could be turned off as the lines are unrelated to the path of the device.The Ugly:1) According to their tech e-mail, the "two week battery life" is calculated with a 1 minute update frequency and movement is restricted to 1 hour a day. Nowhere on Amazon, their website or in their manual do they indicate the battery life run time if movement is constant or if one subscribes to the higher priced updates of less than 1 minute.2) The 1 minute updates are every minute it reads the GPS coordinates and a minute later their online program updates to those coordinates. When the position is received it is where the device was 2 minutes ago.3) While most GPS devices are not always spot on with location this one it happens too often to be relied upon for accuracy.4) The website has an auto log-off feature that can't be turned off. It relies on user interaction with the website as opposed to the GPS updates. During mobile tracking this requires ongoing timely interaction with the website to keep it from logging us off.--------------------------------------------------------------Obviously different people have different uses for GPS tracking devices and the nature of the technology at this point can have its limitations. If you want a device that will give you the general where-a-bouts every couple minutes or a passive tracker that can be checked later, this device may meet your needs.What I need is a device with software suitable for live mobile tracking with a much longer battery life. Battery life is a challenge with all of these GPS trackers. But, knowing the limitations up front allows us to work with this issue. This company chose to market the battery life as something it isn't and getting the truth from them took more effort than it should have.Lastly, if this company spent as much time on operations as they did marketing they might have a product worth having and working around/with any deficiencies. How this became the #1 seller on Amazon is beyond me. Maybe I'm operating on the wrong frequency.++++++++++++++++++Follow up. Tech support responded about an hour after I posted this review and one on the company website. They apologized and offered a free device with extra battery life and free service until I was satisfied with their tracker and their service. They deserve credit for this response. I will not be taking Spytec up on the kind offer. There are simply too many issues with their product/service even if their tech support responded quickly. Most of these issues are fairly basic for a GPS and should have been addressed up front.

Update to My Previous Review – Excellent Resolution and GratitudeI wanted to provide an update regarding my previous concerns with charges on my account. Initially, I was frustrated after going back and forth via email for several days with little clarity—getting the same explanation reworded in different ways. It felt like no real progress was being made.However, since leaving my review, Spytec GPS went above and beyond to resolve the issue. Not only did they refund the charges I questioned, but they also generously reimbursed several months’ worth of fees I had previously paid. I truly appreciate this gesture and the effort they ultimately made to make things right.I do not want to be share the exact resolution I received because there are a lot of people in the world who try to complain about purchases just to obtain compensation . My situation was unique I never expected to receive anything Beyond the last charge because sometimes problems are in part due to confusion between buyer and seller I am truly grateful for how fairly and kindly it was handled in the end. And I have since purchased another item and have no complaints whatsoever.As for the product itself—it remains one of the better GPS trackers on the market. It’s reliable, user-friendly, and has been a solid tool for my needs. I sincerely thank the team at Spytec GPS for their support and follow-through.The tracker is great and the battery is one of the better ones however accuracy isn’ttoo good but I’ve definitely seen worse. Billing note that’s a whole other matter. I was billed for two trackers even tho I have never used more than one at any given moment as I deactivated the lost one when I ordered the second one and never have figured out why I was billed $34.95 AND $24.95 simultaneously with an explanation that I had two trackers. Nope only have need for one why would I use two!!! Anyway going back and forth repeatedly getting nowhere I dropped the account altogether.

Did exactly what it was supposed to. Got it to track my own car because I was suspicious of my boyfriend going other places besides work and lying about it. This helped me learn my suspicions were correct. It was easy to set up, good battery life and I loved the live tracking and that it kept the history. It’s worth the buy. Only thing is you’ll have to also pay for the app membership to track.

Been using the GPS tracker for a few months and so far no problem and track everything great. This not a typical gps tracker but does give detail information of where it goes depending on the setting chosen. Wokr great and battery could last a little bit longer but does the job.

Works great! About $35/month for service but if you don't need it forever, it was a nice thing to have. I don't think I'd want to spend that much forever but it worked while I was out of town and left my car at a shop to get fixed.

Initially bought it for a fairly sized asset and it works very well. Updated me in real time where the asset was and how fast it was traveling, when it stops and starts traveling AND charging, what battery percentage its at and it will notify you when it needs charged. You can change how often it pings in the settings. Very easy to use and set up in the app. 3 stars only because the subscription for it is $40 a month which is kind of steep for me but will pay for it again if ever needed.

The Spytec Atlas GPS Tracker has really exceeded my expectations. I bought it for peace of mind and it delivers exactly that. The tracking accuracy is excellent, updating in real time so I always know exactly where my car or loved one is. The setup process was simple, and the app is very user-friendly — even for someone not super tech-savvy.The battery life is great — lasting up to two weeks per charge, which saves a lot of hassle. I love that I can set up custom alerts and geofences, so I get notified if the tracker moves outside a specific area.It’s small, discreet, and durable — perfect for both vehicle tracking and child safety. I’ve tested a few trackers in the past, but this one is by far the most reliable. If you’re looking for something dependable and easy to manage, the Spytec Atlas is worth every penny. 🚗📍

Buying Guide

Choosing the right GPS tracker and a weatherproof magnetic case for your car, truck, or other assets can be daunting. With so many variations on the market, it’s crucial to know which features to look for to ensure you’re getting the best product for your specific needs. First, consider the design and quality of the tracker and case. The magnetic case should be lightweight, durable, waterproof, shockproof, and dustproof. Next, consider the ease of use of the GPS tracker. It should be easy to install and use and include an app with features that make it easy to monitor your assets from multiple devices. Overall cost and battery life are worth considering too. The GPS tracker and case combination should be relatively affordable and fit within your budget, and the battery life should be enough to last a week-long trip. Finally, consider the additional features included. Features like an alarm that sounds if someone attempts to tamper with the device and a low-battery alert to remind you to charge the tracker can significantly increase security and peace of mind.
